A Doc To See
All the time people ask me about good docs to see so every once in a while I will post a suggestion. Here's my first one.
Recently I borrowed a copy of My Architect and absolutely loved it! I am not a big fan of personal documentaries. They can be a bit whiny especially if the doc is about understanding a relationship with an estranged parent. This movie though is completely fascinating and moving. The film is about the son of Louis Kahn, a famous arcitect who had several families and designed a few buildings on the side. I know nothing about architecture and this film really go me thinking about what I find beautiful and why. Plus, there was this great message within the film about accepting your family, your parents as they are (were) that I especially related to. I highly recommend it.


I am surprised you liked it! I saw it a long time ago and found it to be a little dry and overly subjective. Maybe I should give it a relook

Because I know absolutely nothing about architecture, I found it fascinating! It was slow at points but I was really moved by it.
